Missouri Release Record Contacts
Choose the path that matches the question. The home page covers a named person and the full release-record request. State supervision, sentence dates, and notification records use different offices.
- For a prison release or final discharge, contact MODOC Constituent Services at 573-526-2695 or constsrv@doc.mo.gov.
- For post-release supervision, District 9 is at 1919 N. Rangeline, Joplin, MO 64801, phone 417-629-3200. Barton’s alternate reporting site is in Lamar and operates Monday through Wednesday by appointment.
- For the question “when will they be released,” use the release date lookup and then verify the calculation with MODOC or the court.
- For a specific custody alert, use the current MOVANS instructions. MOVANS help is 573-526-1929 or movans@dps.mo.gov, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- For people entered in the last day, the 24-hour release guide explains the Sheriff request because Barton has no public recent-release feed.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator and the actual holding facility.
- For a specific facility, use the detention-system pages listed below and in the footer.
